Alright so we're coming up on our humble NA contest scene in the next few months and everything is starting off with a bang way over in Indianapolis home of the _______ and the ________ and an older fellow who does some really bomb single tricks that are pretty rad to be honest.
So who is going, and if you aren't going, WHY ARE YOU NOT GOING? (You see the bold letters? I'm giving you a stern look right now. Think of it less like me being mad at you, but more like how your parents are "very disappointed" in you)
These guys are signed up and many of them have already bought their tickets.

All these dudes are rad as f*ck and are going to get a serious bum slap (no-homo) for their efforts in getting here.
Dark horse candidate list contains : Matthias Dandois, Dominik Nekolnoy, Stephen Cerra, Terry Adams! Don't touch that dial THERE'S MORE!
http://midwest-flat.com/REGISTRATION.htmlYOU. You're coming. Do you know why? Because it's more fun to bitch about mundane things like old school vs new school and how two piece bars and tight pants are gay and how sick the new _______ from _________ bikes is really ______ all in person than on the internet!
Stop being internet flatlanders. Start being REAL men because REAL men will show up to contests that take place right in the center of North America!
The entry fee is like what, 25 bucks? What exactly is 25 bucks these days to any of us? Instead of buying another color coordinated seatpost clamp which will more than likely cost you 25 bucks with shipping, get your butt to indy, enter the contest and come hang out with everyone at the redbull warehouse.
You can ride, but I'm bringing some bike videos to show at the redbull house that you have more than likely NEVER EVER EVER SEEN because they aren't available on this freakin continent. What are the videos you ask? Bitch please, come and find out for yourself. We're gonna be hanging hard, riding a lot, and chillin like bros.
sh*t, if you compete you can call your mom and dad and tell them to tune in the live stream which will more than likely be up and running thanks to a few good old boys from Texas.
If you're a beginner, get here and get some motivation. If you're an expert, get here and chill with all those other dudes that aren't sure what class to enter. Hell, everyone should be here because there aren't stifling entry fees like you might find at other contests. sh*t, back in MY day you had to pay fifty bucks to enter am and get 20th place and god dammit you LIKED IT.
If you sit on these forums and bitch and moan about the state of flatland and act like a debbie downer but do not even try to make it to this contest, there will be a special place in hell for you. I really don't know if that's true or not, but it's a month away, ticket prices are still crazy reasonable (I paid 240 for mine and I'm flying out of Richmond Virginia, the worst state capital in the US), and there is little to no reason why more of you do not have your names on this list.
So make your plans, pack your bike and bags, GET YOUR HAIR DID, and
GET TO THIS CONTEST.
edit: to receive the full impact of this awesome post imagine the cat in my signature reading the whole thing with the same look on its face that it has now.
